the eyes have hills.

my agenda for last night was to see a movie. preferrably, "reign over me," with adam sandler and don cheadel. which i guess i will see tonight, because i've been looking forward to that film since the time of it's trailer viewing.

so, instead, i saw, "the hills have eyes 2." which was good for reasons explained below, but also, i saw the trailer for the follow up to, "28 days later."

"28 weeks later," looks very promising as far as a conclusion for a film i thought was perfect as is...


despite my better efforts to stay with the theme of current to current, i like the original hills have eyes 2 promo flats and images compared the just released, redux.

though... i like the new, "hills have eyes 2," a lot more than the original version. weird... and, i think this version, was better than it's previous remake from two years ago. seriously.

i hate admitting that i like sequels, and i hate even more that i like remakes, but hills have eyes was a better film that the original. i've seen the originals, both, and they were good for their time, and didn't have greg nicotero effects to rely on, but rather b-acting, dark lit scenes, and creepy music.

i enjoy a horror film that has not only a decent story that is well acted, but i like to buy what's going on visually. i like gore. and, the last two hills movies of the 2000's deliever.

yes... i loved the updated version of, "hills have eyes 2." and i loved the remake two years ago. a lot. and it's new sequel is... better on so many levels of not just a cool way to keep the story in the structure of continuity, but to develope the fact that the desert where the government tested nuc's way back when, was close to the size of long island. imagine the limitless amount of hill dwellers... see what i'm saying? not everyone left when the tests began... lots of ground to cover.

through text, we get caught up at the beginning, and bid farewell towards the end with loose ends left open, but again, i really got into the flick. if you liked the first remake, you'll love this one more.

tidbit about HHE2 REMAKE: "Wes Craven, who created the characters and films in the seventies, co-wrote the script to the remake of 2... and i thought he was done with the nasty boo-boo gore stuff and strictly a kevin williamson wb assclown..."
